And ultimately, I'm at peace with that. I lost over 30 pounds, and while I don't want to have to do that again, it's given me the confidence that I can do it again to handle a little seasonal weight gain, if it comes to that.<br /><br />Meagan, that's good that you've found something that works for you. My wife is the same way about dessert: she finds it easier to stick to a healthy diet if we can work in some kind of dessert (when she's trying to lose weight, she usually does Weight Watchers, which allows for that). For me, I prefer to pretend dessert doesn't exist, because I find it easier to go without than to moderate. But the important thing for all of us is to find what works for ourselves.Sherckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365366144078711301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075388423619128040.post-64786808794297792302011-12-13T14:47:23.147-05:002011-12-13T14:47:23.147-05:00Congratulations on getting into maintenance mode! ...Congratulations on getting into maintenance mode!

For some reason Halloween and Thanksgiving weren't that difficult, but Christmas and New Years are always the worst. Especially since we're trying to start doing home made (read: food) gifts instead of store bought... which of course means lots of sampling of lots of batches.<br /><br />One thing I HAVE found really helpful: we have dessert every night. I've been on the lookout for "desserty" things that are satisfying in small servings, and that makes it way easier for me to resist eating crappy food during the day.Meaganhttp://hadesarrow.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
